This is one aspect of golf that I love, that a 70 year old pro could still mop the floor with half-way decent 20 year olds.

he was a "width player", meaning all he needed was to straighten his left arm, not make a deep high turn with his hands high.

Arnold was universally loved by all his fans! He also looks like the kind of guy who never invested in golf lessons-he worked on his game all by himself! Went right out there and did it, and earned it! He is missed by everyone! Seemed like a true gentleman!
That short game tho .... legend
Simply put...THE KING....

He promoted the game more than anyone ever has. To get into Arnold’s event you have to be invited and be ranked in the top 50 in the world. How could the top 5 sit this out ??

Arnold Palmer LOVED ⛳ golf. You could feel it. That's why we love Arnold ! Golf was in his veins. Nicklaus played just for fame and business. But Arnold !! He was happy just to play golf- even if he only had a nickel in his pocket. The most popular golfer ever is by far, Arnold Palmer !! ❤ ⛳
R.I.P. Legend 🥺
I love this
RESPECT
amazing
So Cool 😎
Ok here’s my Arnold story. I was 24 yrs old and at the 1986 Bay Hill tournament which of course Arnie hosted and he was standing around talking to someone and I approached him with my program which I asked him to sign and he was ready to oblige except for one thing: I didn’t have a pen! What an idiot I felt like! He shrugged his shoulders and I don’t remember exactly all the things that proceeded from there, but I do remember he waited until I grabbed a pen and he did sign my program. Great human being. His “everyman” persona was authentic. Unfortunately, I cannot find that program. Still an idiot! 😄
That doesn't happen very often. Only the true greats.
Swings better at 71 than all the teenagers I see at the range
Like a boss
age doesn't matter in golf i have 80 years old grandpa and he still playing golf with his friend 🤩

I remember this, at that time the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic was kind of a big deal as celebrities and legends would participate, most at the personal invitation of Bob Hope. Six years before this, one of the pro-am groups featured Bob Hope, George HW Bush and Bill Clinton, one of the coolest moments in Tour history.
RIP THE KING

When God swung his trusty 1 iron and pured reality and everything in it into existence including time itself that's when He knew there would be great golfers like Arnold and Jack who would try to emulate Him, including even being called King. The anti Christ's.

His swing may not have been "long and flowing" ala Payne Stewart, Sam Snead, but he obviously did the most important things to generate club head speed and get the club *through* the ball. He's doing a great 71 yr old swing getting the *club* moving, and keeping the body motion compact. More or less how Doug Sanders swung his whole career. Stopping the arms and hands near the ball, and letting the clubhead fire through, is much more efficent than dragging the arms, hand and club all at once through the ball
